the reality of impending death is our one certainty.
if we are fortunate enough to live for 70 years, we will have lived for 840 brief months.. the womb to the tomb is a rapid journey.
i once wandered through a cemetery in a town called rochester in the uk and always having a fascination for last words, i happened upon the c19th tombstone of a man who had been fatally struck while playing cricket!
You guys have come up with some great ones! Good idea for a thread HS. I have to return the favor to my younger sibling, so here goes:
Here lies a troublesome little sis
Her older sibling she liked to piss
Many times was she heard to cry
"I don't know who did it, t'was not I"
A fibber she was, but Dana I will miss

I swear I was thinking of you the whole time! Why, Ladonna even telepathically captured my thoughts and was able to magically display them for you.
Besides, don't you know...technically it's not cheating if the guy is from another galaxy.

when a woman's fed up...... a man comes home from work early to surprise his wife with.
my ribs that are stinging me right now is the fact that i. still love you.
killed someone you probably are going to jail for a long.
((((April))))
Wow, you impress me. Not only did you get out of an abusive relationship, which requires great courage...but you broke the cycle with your children. Your son sounds like a fine young man. Give him a hug for me, ok?
And I'm glad you were able to find real help in your desperate situation. All the witnesses do for someone in that situation is pray for them, quote scriptures to them, and tell them to be regular at meetings ...Big Fricking Help that is!
Tracy, who holds April in very high esteem now.

My God April,
You scared the shit out of me with that story. I thought you were trying to tell us you were going to kill yourself. Are you saying you are still with the bastard that beat you?

just heard that the society is going to stop mailed subscriptions.
magazines will all have to be picked up at the kingdom hall.
not sure when it's starting, but soon, i suppose.. sorry if this has been posted before, but i think this is very new info.
Great News Seeker4!
My mother in law keeps renewing our subscription...and we keep asking her not to. Makes you wonder about how many other family members are doing that...and how that distorts their "numbers" of magazines being placed, much less read!

just got off the phone with my mom who asked me if i had read the latest awake on the sept. 11th tragedy.
quote, "what a wonderful article, showing what the brothers did for those that came across the bridge, blah, blah, blah.
my first thought was, anyone in ny with an ounce of compassion for humanity was right there along with anyone from the wts doing what they could for the victims.. my second thought went to how jesus condemned the scribes and pharisees for making a showy display of their good deeds, but inside they were vile.
Hi Tweetie,
I saw that Awake article....made me *GAG*. And then my mother had the nerve to send my two teenage sons a card, with a clipping from their local newspaper, bragging about how the witnesses were being so loving and helpful to everyone at ground zero. (My mother lives in a podunk town in SC and the "journalist" is a witness).
It made me so angry...I haven't replied to it yet. The gist of my mom's note to my boys was for them not to forget about Jehovah...the days are too short...blah blah blah.
ALL THE WITNESSES HAVE DONE at ground zero is PREACH to people...hand out literature...read a few scriptures. BIG FRIGGING DEAL. They have all these able bodied young men who could have been of practical use, especially right at first...but as usual, all they do is attempt to put the band-aid of "Let me share with you a few scriptures of a time when the earth will not be like this" rather than any real, practical help for people NOW. You don't tell a starving man that in a few years there will be plenty of food for everyone...he doesn't care about that...all he cares about is the fact that he's starving now.
Oops...sorry I went off on it like that...I guess I just started my letter to my mother....hehehe, but I have more to add for her!

If it turned out JW's were right, and God was coming in all his mighty fury to judge the unworthy of the world, I would tell him what he could do with himself for being such a twisted, cruel creator before he blasted me from the face of the earth. But at least I'd die happy.
